Saunum Air 5: the smallest Saunum heater for a small home sauna
The Saunum Air 5 is a floor standing electric sauna heater. It is Saunum’s smallest heater, with 5 kW for a room of 106 to 212 cubic feet. That suits a small sauna for two people or solo use. Its quiet fan draws hot ceiling air down through an intake that extends up to the ceiling. It mixes this with cooler floor air and releases it low in the room. This helps the lower bench feel as warm as the upper bench and makes the steam feel softer. On the page you choose stainless steel or Nordic black.
The heater comes with seven Himalayan salt spheres that rest in a tray with slots. Air passes through the tray, carrying a little of the salt’s scent and minerals around the room. It needs the Saunum AirIQ Wi-Fi control to run, and you add that on the page. Sauna stones are sold separately, so add the 4 boxes it needs on the page. Want the heater, control, and stones in one order? See the Saunum Air 5 package. The Saunum Air 5 ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
Features
- Air Mixing Technology – Saunum patented air blending system mixes cold oxygen-rich air from the floor with hot oxygen-poor air off the ceiling to solve the discomfort so many associate with sauna. Whether you like it extremely hot, or just warm, Saunum delivers both in a way that heat and oxygen are felt head to toe.
- European Design – With an elegant stainless steel finish, Saunum combines Scandinavian design and quality materials.
- Massive Stone Capacity – Stones are the heart of a Nordic sauna. Ample stones result in softer, more even heat, and can produce more luxurious steam. Large 154-pound stone capacity (required 5 boxes sold separately)
- Please note that each natural stone is unique in shape and size. We recommend purchasing an additional box of sauna stones to allow you to choose the highest quality of stone for fit, form, and function (Additional freight charges will apply).
- Himalayan Salt Reservoir – Saunum’s Himalayan salt tray is positioned within the air stream so that salt ions are propelled throughout the sauna to deliver health benefits more effectively.
- Wi-Fi Control Option – The available AirIQ Wi-Fi control unit allows you to activate a tailored sauna profile and have your custom sauna ready at the time that you specify on your mobile device.
- Dry your Sauna – Go ahead, toss water onto the rocks! Saunum is engineered for water-tossing, and when you’re done enjoying the steam, the patented fan system will conveniently help dry your sauna.
- UL Certification – Safety and reliability are priorities at Saunum, and each product is engineered to exceed strict UL standards.
- Available Aromatherapy – Add another sensory layer with Saunum’s optional aromatherapy system, which infuses aroma into the steam to further transform your experience.
- For sauna rooms from 106 to 212 cu. ft.

FAQ
Which saunas is the 4.8 kW Air 5 designed for?
Small rooms: the Specifications tab rates it for 106 to 212 cubic feet with a minimum ceiling height of 71.48 inches. Calculate the volume from length, width and height in feet, then add for glass or masonry surfaces using the Sizing Your Saunum sheet in the Manual tab. Because the range starts so low, it suits compact one or two person saunas where bigger heaters would overshoot.
What do I still need to buy to run it?
A control and stones, both of which the page says are sold separately and both of which are on this page as add-ons. Select the AirIQ Wi-Fi control under Sauna Heater Control (Required); the manual states the heater is intended for AirIQ only and other controls void the warranty and UL listing. Then add rounded olivine stones under Sauna Stones (Required), sold in 33 lb boxes.
What circuit does a 4.8 kW heater need?
The Specifications tab lists 240 V single phase, 20 A, a 30 A circuit breaker and two number 10 conductors plus neutral and ground to the power unit. The included element and equalizer cables run from the power unit to the heater. Hardwiring is by a licensed electrician to the NEC and local code, and the manual says not through a GFCI breaker.
How is this different from a regular small electric sauna heater?
Instead of a small stone tray it carries 132 to 154 lb of stones, and it includes the patented climate equalizer, a three-speed fan that mixes ceiling heat with floor air and blows it out under the bench for an even head-to-toe temperature. The page describes six bathing styles from dry Finnish heat to humid banya-style steam, plus optional Himalayan salt and aromatherapy.
How high does the ceiling need to be?
At least 71.48 inches, because the telescopic hot-air intake extends from 71.48 to 94.49 inches and must reach the ceiling to work properly. The manual also asks for the top of the air outlet to sit below the bench, at least 20 inches of clear space in front of the fan, and the safety distances listed for the stainless cage body.
How do I care for the stones and salt?
The manual says stones break down with heat cycling, so restack them at least once a year, remove fragments from the bottom and replace broken stones; used often, do it more frequently. Check the Himalayan salt spheres yearly and swap worn ones. Clean the housing with a damp cloth only, and disconnect power at the breaker before any maintenance.
What are the finish and accessory options?
Model Options chooses the stainless steel or black body. Under Operating Accessories you can add the Air Deflector, the Saunum Safety Rail, satisfying the manual guardrail requirement, or the Auto Leil water dispenser; Sauna Heater Add-Ons hold salt refills and aroma oils, and Sauna Add-Ons a bamboo bucket and ladle. Prices show on the selectors. See more sizes in our electric sauna heater range.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent

Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10

Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.
RS
Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
